Five by Topaz (PG)
Hello, my name is ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
vampirespider and I'll be driving your popslash crack van this month.
I have a definite JC/Lance preference, so expect a lot of them, particularly since they're incredibly under-represented on the crack van, and that's just wrong. Ah, I remember the glory days.
Anyway, I thought I'd start out with one of my favourite fics ever.
Fandom: POPSLASH
Pairing: JC/Lance, but not central to the story

Why this must be read:
Five is wonderful, because more than anything it's about the family feel of 'NSync, which I'll admit is a weakness of mine. The story is told from Justin's point of veiw and follows the group when JC decides to have hole up the guys in a house until they have a new album. It has excellent characterization of the boys, their inter-group relationships, and it takes a realistic look at how these relationships affect the group. Also it has the most sympathetic Justin in a long time, and is not a story where the pairing erases the rest of the group.
Excerpt:
Days Two, Three and Four go pretty much the same way as Day One, except Justin wakes up on Day Two feeling a little bad that he'd slept on JC, and makes an effort to crash more on Joey. He also becomes Joey's assistant in the kitchen because Joey says Lance doesn't understand the fine art of manly cooking which Lance translates as "I don't do grease." Joey yells "oh, kitchen boy" whenever he starts throwing together something to keep them from starving, which Justin hates, but other than that, he doesn't mind hanging out with Joey.
In between making pancakes for breakfast or making a run to the tiny cinderblock barbecue shack to pick up lunch, Justin gets the gossip on every single person they know in California and Florida, plus daily updates on Bri and the wedding plans and the latest additions to the water park Joey calls a backyard. Naturally enough, Joey has a bazillion off-color comments about the tabloids' version of Justin's life, but Justin thinks that he'd hate it if Joey weren't needling him about his sex life.
He also gets the scoop on JC and Lance which turns out to be not much information at all, just that it's very new and that everybody's playing it cool, not making any waves about it. While he and Chris are waking up over Joey's really lousy coffee, Justin asks careful questions but it takes three mornings before Chris admits that he doesn't know whether to be happy for them or not.
